And here I thought the problem was that it sounded like “ass-burgers”.

I think it’s because it reads like every other self-aggrandizing LI post. Even if I agree with it, my brain just goes “This is an ad. You’re reading an ad.” It comes off as cheesy and phony, because I know it’s just there to farm engagement. I have to ask myself whether they even believe what they’re writing. I will say this comes off as more convincing than, say, those managers who post stuff like how the right way to treat your employees is to not micro-manage them and don’t force them to come to work when they’re sick. (Wow! So insightful! +1)

I think that eventually 100% of the posts on LinkedIn will mention AI. It’s already about 85%. Every time I see one, I hit “Not interested” and it does no good.

Yeah, I was talking about the Gemini blurb at the top of Google search results.

Mobile death machines.

How many of those 900 million are being forced to use it?

Understand that the “AI” framing is pure marketing. It’s meant to get you to accept using LLMs to replace humans for every cognitive task. You have to decouple LLMs as a technology from the AI tech-bro hype train.

Oof. I think you need to find a better example than nuclear power.

LLMs existed before the AI craze. Sure, they’re useful in certain specific use cases. They aren’t a good substitute for a search engine or an artist or a therapist or any of the other myriad misuses now prevalent.

LLMs can make stuff resembling art. I’m not interested in it, though, because a human didn’t make it. What makes art art, what makes it interesting, is artists.

The room is filling with sewage. I’m not sure that this is a good thing.

It sucks as a search engine. When I’m searching for something, I want factual, correct results, not a hallucinated answer which is backed up by none of its sources.

When I click through search results, I’m reading, evaluating the sources, and synthesizing the information into something which I am reasonably satisfied is true enough. I don’t feel comfortable handing that cognitive task off to a machine. The machine’s job is to help me find the sources, not tell me what the truth is.

Having a machine that tells you what is true is the most dystopian shit ever, and it would’ve sounded completely insane only 5 years ago.

They’re confusing utility value with artistic value.

I find it darkly humorous that ribbed condoms are meant to simulate a foreskin. Yes, our culture removes the foreskin, but they’ll sell you a fake one to replace it!

“No, we only cut the foreskin off, not the whole penis! We aren’t crazy.”

Sweet Satan, if only he could hear himself.

So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?

How insane that these are the questions. Ask him about UFOs and Bigfoot next.

Which is why they are so desperate to convict luigi, and why i’m so shocked they havent arranged an “accident” for him yet.

What would that accomplish? They want to have the trial and conviction to make an example out of him.

Step 1: free healthcare for all

Step 2: re-education camps

It would end Obamacare! Why do you hate Obama?!?

Sure, dump away. I’m always interested in checking out new music.
